We understand that being under investigation or charged with a criminal offence can be a traumatic experience. The importance of frank, strategic advice and open communication in simple, plain English terms can’t be overstated. You need to know how the process works and how to exercise your rights and protect your interests.

The good news is you don’t have to go through this alone!

From the early stages of your matter, our lawyers can guide you through the process and stand beside you throughout.

If Police are investigating a matter and they wish to discuss the investigation with you, our lawyers can liaise directly with Police on your behalf and inform you of the advantages and disadvantages in talking to the Police about an ongoing investigation.

If you are charged, our lawyers can also help you understand your eligibility for bail and help you navigate through the criminal justice system.

From the outset, we are proactive and look for every opportunity available to us to negotiate with the Police and Prosecution. We have what it takes to confidently negotiate with the Prosecution about your charges and our lawyers have the experience and clout, where possible, to have charges withdrawn or downgraded.

If you are charged and/or decide to:

1. challenge your charge(s); we will thoroughly prepare your matter for trial and ensure that all pre-trial processes are properly conducted; or
2. plead guilty to the charge(s); we will help you prepare your matter for sentence by availing yourself of all the options for negotiation, pre-sentence courses, expert reports and character references.

We will guide you every step of the way and help you take steps towards achieving the best possible result. And our promise is that our lawyers will do whatever it takes to have your defence or sentencing submissions efficiently prepared and presented to the court.

Our goal is to:

• provide you with the highest quality legal representation;
